Crime and PunishmentDostoyevsky, Fyodor
Crime and Punishment
A struggling student in St. Petersburg commits a murder and tries to justify it to himself. As the investigation closes in, Raskolnikov finds his ideas harder to live with.
From the English edition
Dostoevsky was the son of a doctor. His parents were very hard-working and deeply religious people, but so poor that they lived with their five children in only two rooms. The father and mother spent their evenings in reading aloud to their children, generally from books of a serious character.
